League record
What the league record shows
Liverpool won 50.0% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 30 of 38. The side averaged 1.63 goals scored and 0.97 conceded per match; the resulting +25 goal difference gives more context to the 4th finish than position alone.
Compared with 1995–96, the recorded league position fell by 1 place, while goal difference moved from +36 to +25.
Place in Liverpool’s wider history
The season sits in Liverpool’s first Premier League decade, a period of managerial and squad change that eventually produced the cup successes of 2000–01.
